Hi all. Fitted sump,flywheel & clutch to the crate blacktop this evening. Managed to drop it in and bolt up to mt75 box. Connected clutch cable and result all seems fine. However we had to remove the standard stat housing as it was hard up tight to the bulkhead, not allowing us to fit engine to mounts.
Is there such thing as a slimline stat housing or am I going to have to go the water rail route?
Not sure why it's so tight as I know a lot of people retain the standard housing.
Does anyone have or know of one for sale?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mate

how about THIS or THIS

I have the retro ford one, and it works just fine now that it has a couple of holes in the termostat to prevent air locks.

Hi Fosset
Thanks yes I was thinking of the retro one over the race line one. Although Dunnell also do one of their own now too. Not heard much about them though?
